I want to use a paper from Jen Hadfield’s “Flower Child” line, with all the words and phrases, as a background for my page. I love these types of patterns, but struggle with coming up with a title that seems to compete with the pattern. Whether it’s the words themselves, or just adding more letters to a paper that’s filled with them.
How do yall use this type of pattern, and deal with a title, especially as the background sheet?

Can you cut a phrase you like for the title out of the background, then back it with a layer or two and glue it over the top?
Or use a large sheet of vellum under the other layers, to mute the look of text in the background? Maybe leave an inch wide border around the edges? Put your title on the vellum?

If it’s the sheet I’m thinking of the words are in straight lines. Can you incorporate strips into your layout or use them as a paper ribbon across the page?

Add a title in a contrasting color and larger font so it stands out.

Personally speaking, a whole page of words is too busy for me.
I wouldn't use the whole page.
I would cut a strip of one set of the words (no repeats), and I would use that strip horizontally across part of a plain piece of cardstock or small polka dots piece of paper.

Love love love the vellum idea, mixed with the highlighted phrase! Perfect! You are so creative, thank you! |

I have cut a strip of paper and put the title on it, as well as layered each individual letter with a contrasting color. Much easier to do when you’re using something like a silhouette rather than Thickers-type products. I still remember doing it by hand!

justcindy did you put that page together? Would love to see it. I did, and I really like it! Haven’t added journaling yet. Let me see if I can figure out how to post a photo! |
